Overview
The 9th Conference on Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Language will take place at Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, Ohio) on 18-20 October, 2008.
CSDL features papers in the fields of cognitive linguistics, functional linguistics, discourse, corpus linguistics, and speech & language processing, especially among scholars exploring the interface between language and cognition.
The theme of CSDL 9 is "Meaning, Form, and Body." The focus is on two central, related research areas in the study of language: (1) the integration of form and meaning, and (2) language and the human body. These topics intersect naturally, as in the study of grammatical constructions, of conceptual integration, and of gesture.
